→ Valentine's Day (and the new seasonal activities calendar)
Valentine's Day is February 14th. Haven't made plans yet? May we suggest Sweet Self-Assembly, a program focused on using self-assembly techniques to create edible macrocapsules. So this Valentine's Day, take your big date over to the local science center and make your own self-assembling ice cream toppings!
- The Children's Museum of Houston recently posted a video blog post Molecular Gastronomy that includes step-by-step instructions for the Sweet Self-Assembly program.
- While you're there, check out the Children's Museum of Houston blog with over 40 other videos featuring Mr. O!
Maybe you've had Valentine's Day planned for months, and now you're looking ahead to Earth Day? The new seasonal activity calendar is posted on nisenet.org. We've suggested activities to go with holidays and events throughout the year. Please let us know if you have other suggestions for additions to the calendar!

More fun than you can shake a carbon nanotube at!
Nano Haikus
We received two Haikus from Michael Flynn expressing his hopes and fears for nanotechnology:
Miracle fibers
Weave a new reality
Built from the ground up
Too Small to be seen
This toxin is nanoscale
Can't tell if it spilled
